K-Meleon needs 32MB, from their site:
"Windows 95, 98, 98SE, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows
XP and Windows 2003 Server
32 MB RAM minimum
5 MB of free hard disk space for download. 11.0 MB of free hard disk space
for installation.
While a Pentium level processor is recommended, K-Meleon can run on a 486
system that meets the minimum RAM requirements. "
Too bad, nice browser.

For browser I recommend Opera 5.02 from www.oldversion.com

The laptop presently has IE 3- with no patches, wouldn't an older IE be
very risky to browse with?

Heres what I found out so far:
Netscape 3.04 is browser/mail/news, I'm already familiar with the
interface. But, the browser may have trouble with lots of modern
websites.
IE 3- I think it is risky, no patches, etc.
So no good solution for a browser yet.
WinVin may be a good newsreader for the 486.
Old Eudora or Pegasus for mail- have to find out about that.

It's a good reference to many browsers, but gives no direct data on
system requirements. I'd need to research eacn one. I'm hoping someone
has a recommendation.

at least a version 4x of Netscape should work. I was able to put 4.08 of NS
on a similiar laptop with win3x so the win95 version should be similiar.

Newsreader:
I'm pretty sure I used to use my copy of News Xpress (2.01) on a 486
with 16 MB RAM, but it may have been a 486/66. (FWIW I'm *still*
using NX, now on a P3 1.1GHz under WinME

Addendum: At the time I think I was using Netscape 3 and probably the
non-freeware Outlook 95. (Or was there something called Exchange?)
Cheers, Phred.

I will guess that Free Agent will work OK. Have a look for 1.21, which
I think is the y2k compliant build.
Don't get any of the recent, bundled, builds.
